Tamzin Outhwaite has fuelled rumours she’s split from her toyboy boyfriend Tom Child.
The actress, 53, spoke about ‘not needing commitment of another human being’ after months of not posting the actor, 33, on social media.
She has been dating Tom – who is two decades her junior – for six years, after they met at a yoga class back in 2017.
Tom and Tamzin were last seen looking very loved-up on each other’s Instagrams in November 2023 but haven’t been mentioned since.
EastEnders star Tamzin recently said she resonated with her new character Sylvie in Channel 5 comic drama The Wives.

The actress spoke about ‘not needing commitment of another human being’ after months of not posting the actor on social media
She said: ‘I love the freedom that Sylvie has, and that’s something that comes with age.
‘Knowing yourself, being a free spirit and not needing the commitment of another human being.’
Tom moved in with Tamzin and her two daughters, as she has previously described him as ‘the best’ stepdad.
Tamzin shares daughters Florence, 15, and Marnie, 11, with ex-husband Tom Ellis, who she was married to from 2006 until 2014.
The marriage is understood to have ended in 2013 after the Lucifer star, 45, confessed to an affair with actress Emilie de Ravin, while they worked together on Once Upon A Time in 2013.
In July last year, Tamzin claimed that the actor had ‘walked out’ on her and their kids and that she was still uncovering ‘more infidelities and lies that he committed’ in a quickly deleted tweet.
She wrote: ‘Ten years since the father of my kids walked out on us for the final time. I still meet new people on jobs who reveal more infidelities and lies that he committed.
‘But thankfully my heart and soul are clear and clean and I could not be happier right now.’

Tamzin shot to fame in 1998 playing fan-favourite character Mel Healy in EastEnders, until her exit in 2002.
She then returned to the BBC soap in January 2018, before finally being killed off in a dramatic high-speed car chase with Sharon Watts in November 2019.
Tamzin’s other big roles included Sgt. Jo McDonagh in Red Cap and DCI Sasha Miller in New Tricks.
